Yerevan, 3 October: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and former
President Robert Kocharyan took part in the opening of a new expressway
called Getar in Yerevan today.

A total of 8.4bn drams [about 28m dollars] were allocated for the
construction of the expressway from the state budget, Yerevan mayor
Yervand Zakharyan said at the opening ceremony.

The 2.5-km-long multi-level traffic hub allows unhampered traffic on
10 key streets of the city and substantially shortens the way from
one edge of Yerevan to the other.
